The answer is no. For example, take the set of natural numbers, a set with infinite cardinality. Remove from this the set of natural numbers, a set with infinite cardinality. The remainder is an empty set, with 0 elements.> > Conclusion:> When substracting infinity from infinity, you can, depending on how you define subtraction and your infinities, wind up with infinity or a finite value.
